ALso, I did mic the kick from the outside. I've wanted to try some new mics on the kick as well....I;m looking at the RE20, KSM44, or AT4050. are any of these acceptable for punk results? What are your favorite mic positions for these mics?

Thank you for your prompt responses!
Drumagog from wavemachine labs is a really good one! available as a DX plugin and they also offer 2 week trial for free I believe!

As for miking the drum, you will get a lot more click if you mike the drum from inside possibly pointing towards the beater. It varies according to the drum itself.

Don't discount mics like D12, D112, (plenty of click on these) MD421. All these are good old standards for this kind of thing!
